I'm completely new to the world of vintage bikes. Last year, on a whim, I bought this bike at an antique store. Since I realized I know nothing about vintage bikes or where to start with fixing it up I brought it home, put it in the garage, and continued to ride my new cruiser. Now I'm wanting to actually get it out and ride it but it has a few things that need to be fixed and since I don't even know what kind of bike it is I'm not really sure where to start. I did find a website with information on how to date a Torpedo hub and according to that website the hub is a 1952. That's about all I've been able to find on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
